When you start getting into the World System you will come into confrontation with Satan's answer to the Fivefold Ministry.

You know Satan always likes to counterfeit what God does. He has counterfeited the trinity by forming his own infernal trio which we have taught on elsewhere. It is the Council of Wickedness which is made up of Lucifer, Apollyon and Pharaoh.

When it comes to the Fivefold Ministry, Satan has set up in the world a system very similar to what God has set up in the church. He has set up five leading influences that correspond almost exactly with the Fivefold Ministry.

I am going to go through them very quickly so you can see them and identify them. In the next section we will go into complete detail on how to deal with these things as a Joshua apostle.

Counterfeit Teaching - Education

What are the Fivefold Ministry? They are apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. You should know that by now especially if you are doing this course.

What is Satan's teaching ministry? It doesn't take much intelligence to guess that. The teacher educates, and Satan's teaching ministry in this world is the education system.

Who has not been involved in the education system? It is compulsory in most countries. From the time that you are old enough to begin school, you begin right from the bottom to go daily to be trained and educated.

This has been promoted so well that every single member of society, Christians included, have been brain-washed into believing that education is absolutely essential to life. You cannot survive without it and it is one of the most important things in life.

From the time a child is born, parents are already beginning to set up education funds. They are saving up money to one day send their child to qualify at college or university. You want your child to have the best so you put him in a private school.

You say, "What is wrong with that? We need knowledge and education."

Yes, but what is your child getting at school? You know we have been involved for many years in the ministry of inner healing and in dealing with hurts and conflicts. And of the major spiritual obstacles in the lives of people, I would say that more than 90 percent of the problems that we have had to deal with began at school?

It is very seldom that we minister to somebody that we don't somewhere deal with an event that took place at school. The child was subjected to stress, to ridicule, to rejection, to pain and suffering, or mental torment and manipulation.

Negative Influence of Teachers

Then piled on top of that is the godless educational system of teachers who promote their own ideas. This is where today gay and homosexual teachers will stand up and teach normal education. Some people have been so brain-washed into thinking,

"Well I'm glad that my daughter goes to a class where her teacher is a man who is gay, because he won't try and molest her."

You don't know what you are talking about! Do you think that when a teacher stands up to impart knowledge through words, that he is not imparting of his spirit in his words? The child is subjected every day for half of the day or longer, to words coming out of the spirits of people that are full of sin.

It is not the knowledge that your child is getting that is the problem. It is spirit that is being communicated by the World System, and your child will be forced to learn as fact things which totally contradict the Word of God.

You say, "So how are we going to change this? If it's the law of the land I have no choice. I have to send my children."

I am not going to deal with that now. I just want you to understand the dangers. This is one of the kings that you will have to deal with as a Joshua apostle.

It is part of why God is raising you up in this day and age, to lead the church into a new move of God; into a new End Times church that is going to tackle these things using the spiritual authority and power of God to overcome and destroy that king.

It is an open door to allow Satan to brain-wash our children with his doctrines of demons.

Counterfeit Pastoral - Psychology

What about the Pastoral Ministry? What does the pastor do? He is the nice guy who helps people who have troubles.

If you have a problem you go to the pastor and cry on his shoulder. And if he is well educated, and has his Doctor of Divinity and studied a bit of good psychology, he will know without a doubt from pure revelation that he is not qualified to counsel you.

This is because that is the realm of a man who is an expert - called a psychiatrist. He will therefore defer counsel and refer you to the worldly expert to go and solve your problem. He will send you into the jaws of the lion under the guise of,

"This man is a medical expert. You have a medical problem; you're mentally ill."

Psychiatry has so permeated and so programmed our thinking, that everybody thinks this is perfectly normal and acceptable.

If you have a problem you go and see the shrink. You know nothing of the man who started this. He was a man full of sin, who formulated a way of making an excuse for his sin and called it psycho-therapy. We have dealt with that elsewhere as well.

This is the world's pastoral system and it has been built into the law. At times you are forced to take your children for counsel. And sometimes the world can report you for the way you treat your children and you have to go for counsel.

We have a king to get rid of here, and it is time the Body of Christ rises up and destroys these kings. But you know where the danger is? It is not that these influences are in the world. It is that the church has been sold a bill of lies and has believed it, accepted it and allowed it to continue as though it was correct.

You are likely beginning to realize how big your job as a Joshua apostle is. You are probably beginning to wonder whether you are even close to qualified to handling this thing.

This is good. I want you to realize you are not qualified to handle it - not the world's way but God's way.

Counterfeit Evangelistic - Religions and Cults

What about the Evangelistic Ministry? Satan has his evangelists out there. They are called the religions and the false cults. People say,

"Well all roads lead to Rome they say, and there are many ways to reach God."

We have people promoting this on national TV, who speak about God. They speak about praying. They will even mention Jesus (and Buddha, and all the other cults along with it).

You say, "They're all sincere in their belief. They are all serving God. You reach God your way and I'll reach God my way. We must be friends with these people and understand them. Islam is a religion of peace you know?"

It is so subtle but it is creeping in. And you know what? Satan has his evangelists out there and they are winning more people than you and I. Sometimes it gets a little bit closer to home, and the cult is a Pentecostal Spirit-filled Charismatic preacher.

You say, "Well he speaks in tongues. He can't be that wrong. He preaches from the Word. He can't be that wrong."

He is not catering to the Kingdom of God. He is catering to the World System. It must be exposed and dealt with.

You say, "I have to deal with that as a Joshua apostle?"

No, that is Solomon's job. What you have to do is you have to stop the people from following that. That is your job as a Joshua. Solomon will be taking the Church out of the System. Your job as a Joshua is to take the world out of the people.

Counterfeit Prophetic - Psychics

And then we have the Prophetic Ministry, and you don't have to look very far to find out where the worldly prophetic ministry is. There are psychics around us all the time giving their predictions, their counsel and direction.

There is astrology, with the horoscope appearing in nearly every publication out there. And Christians are reading them 'just for fun'.

What is even more dangerous is that there are psychics that are getting born again and calling themselves prophets. They are giving revelation by demonic divination and calling it a word of prophecy. The church is saying,

"Well you know it's the gift. God has given them the gift. They just have to learn to hand it over to the Lord now."

God's people are being led astray and the prophets are advertising and saying,

"Send us $50 and we'll give you your own personal prophecy and direction."

You may as well have written in for an astrological chart to be drawn up by one of the psychics. It is no different. It is in the church, and the church has become riddled with the world.

Joshua, get it out. Attack it and destroy it. That king must be removed from the minds, and the understanding and mindsets of God's people.

Counterfeit Apostolic - Politics

You also have Satan's apostolic ministry in this world. The leader is normally called the President. I am talking about politics.

You say, "Do you mean to tell me that Christians shouldn't get involved in politics?"

Yes that is exactly what I am saying.

"You mean we shouldn't vote?"

Well if you think voting is going to help, whether you are going to choose this emissary of Satan or the other one - if you think it is going to help and you want to pick either of Satan's choice, then vote. It will take more than the power of a vote to change the leadership in your land.

It is going to take a lot more than that. But Christians have been so programmed and brain-washed, that they think they have to start waving banners and going on political demonstrations like the world to try and bring change in the land. They are trying to bring godliness and righteousness to the people, and to change the church.

They say, "Well you know we have to get back to the principles of our forefathers."

Your forefathers were mostly unbelievers. Your five fathers also - in fact the whole thousand of them, and all of your generations of the past. I don't care if they believed in the Bible. I don't care if they prayed, 'In God we trust.'

Were they born again? Were they Spirit-filled? Were they men who lived godly, righteous lives in total commitment to extend the Kingdom of God in the earth? Or were they extending the kingdom of man in the land and baptizing it with God's blessing and saying,

"Well we are trusting in God. God's going to bless us?"

The Buddhists pray to God. The Hindus and the Jehovah's Witnesses pray to God. Which God are you serving? My Bible says that no man comes to the Father but by Him, being Jesus Christ and by Him alone.

They don't serve Christ. It is time we get the political mindsets out of the hearts of God's people. And Joshua apostle you had better have the guts to stand up and preach it, otherwise you are not going to hack it.

Influence from Afar

This is the reason why God will often lead you to go into a country that is not your own. You can then look at the whole thing objectively, not having been programmed by the political mindsets of the land in which you grew up.

Today God seems to be sending people across nations. And the people that are having the most significant effect in the United States of America right now, are those that are not programmed by the political mindset that has been programmed into them, to stand up and worship the flag every day.

God has not called me to be the apostle to the land of my birth. We are however sending people back there. We are sending influence from here back there.

And God is sending people from the United States of America to come into that land, to look at it objectively without the mindsets of the people that were programmed into them there.

I don't care what country you come from or what nation you belong to, if God is raising you up to be that kind of leader, I will guarantee He is taking you to a different nation.

You need to have learned to die to your political ideas, to your national ideas and your patriotism. Unless you have been prepared to die to that God cannot use you where you are. He will have to take you out. And when you go out and you look back you will see the fallacy of it.

I can see so much clearer as I look back on my own national country of birth now. I can see the mindsets that were programmed into me while I was there.

As much as I fought them they were deceptive. There is a king here. He is ruling and he is reigning, and this king was the leader of the five.

We will look next time at how to deal with these and see how Joshua dealt with these kings. We are going to understand how the Joshua apostle must deal with these things in the world. You will understand more clearly how you must attack them and how to overcome the world.

The important thing you need to know right now is that Joshua will displace the world from the hearts of believers. To do this will require the power of God. And when you release that power, you will see beginning an outpouring that will lead to true revival power and the great End Times revival that God has been promising us.

You Joshua apostle, are responsible for starting that and bringing it forth.
